Denver Zoo opens $50 million Toyota Elephant Passage

After months of anticipation, the zoo is opening its new $50 million Toyota Elephant Passage exhibit.

And, for the first time, they’ll require reservations to see the zoo’s 16 new species.

More than 6,000 reservations are already booked throughout June, and the first two hours Friday are sold out. It’s evidence of the eager anticipation to see the zoo’s newest residents in their state-of-the art digs.

On Thursday, the Siberian tiger was here.

So was the warthog.

The camels.

And the lion.

But the only animals we found inside the Denver Zoo’s new 10-acre exhibit are the human ones.
